Key Features

For gamers who demand the very best, AMD Radeon R9 270X graphics shatters ordinary GPU performance. Groundbreaking GCN Architecture pushes your performance to insane levels while AMD TrueAudio technology and ultra-resolution gaming take you even deeper into the action.

XFX Ghost Thermal 2.0 Technology

The New and Improved Floating Heatsink Design of XFX Graphics Cards Provides the Ultimate Cooling Solution

XFX's exclusive ghost thermal 2.0 design creates a floating heatsink with open airflow between the PCB and the cover so that air can quickly ventilate off the card while simultaneously cooling the core process and the components. We've also made major advances from our first generation which includes a heat tested light weight plastic to create an overall lighter thermal which reduces the physical strain on your GPU.

Up to 13dB Quieter and 45°F (7°C) Cooler Than Our Competitors

The Exclusive XFX Double Dissipation Design is Cooler and Quieter than Others

XFX's exclusive dual fan double dissipation design utilizes two larger fans which run at slower RPM than comparable single fan solutions which must run at much higher RPMs just to barely achieve the same cooling needs. Because of this design, XFX is able to achieve up to 13dB lower noise than the competitor while simultaneously increasing the overall cooling by 45°F (7°C).

Primed to Enable Astonishing Performance and Breathtaking Image Quality, Making it a Top Choice for Gamers Who Expect the Best

Designed to push not only the boundaries of DirectX® 11 gaming, the GCN Architecture is also AMD's first design specifically engineered for general computing. Representing the cutting edge of AMD's graphics expertise, GCN GPUs are more than capable of handling workloads-and programming languages-traditionally exclusive to the main processor. Coupled with the dramatic rise of GPU-aware programming languages like C++ AMP and OpenCL™, the GCN Architecture is the right architecture at the right time.

AMD Power Tune 2.0 Smart Performance Tuning

Fixed Clocks Speeds are a Thing of the Past, Power Tune Dynamic Performance Scaling Determines the Best Clock Speed in Real Time

Improved Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing MSAA Technology

MSAA smooths out the jagged edges of a curved object. A black curved line on a white background displayed on a computer screen will have some jaggedness along its edges due to the inherent limitations of using discrete pixels to display the image. Anti-aliasing smooths out this jaggedness by filling in the white spaces between the jagged edges with varying shades of gray which gives you the smooth soft shadows, crisp sharp lines of buildings, and crisp tiny details in clothing that make your experience truly realistic.

Bullet Physics Engine Technology

Get the Most Out of Your Gaming Experience with Real 3D Physics

Take advantage of the 3D Physics capabilities of some of today's newest titles which include completely destructible objects, walls and buildings collapsing from gun fire, real particle effects such as fire that react to the environment and realistic details such as moving hair, water and much more.

Compatible with the Newest Direct X Technology

Meets the Standards of the Newest Games with the Latest Direct X Driver Compatibility

With every new generation of Direct X, major improvements are made which greatly advance the graphics capabilities of games. That's why it is essential to ensure that you are using a graphics card with the newest Direct X driver compatibility so that you'll get the most out of your gaming experience. See the difference for yourself.

Partially Resident Textures PRT Technology

Radically Change the Detail of Your Games from Flat to Realistic

Even in the latest titles, gamers may have noticed that games often reuse or repeat textures, particularly on the ground or in background scenery such as mountains or trees. This is because increasing the physical size or number of textures in a game can have a negative impact on the performance of a GPU. PRT is a radical technology that hopes to break this cycle.

Rating: 1/5Terrible Warranty, Even worst support staff

Pros: The card ran well, but for the price it was underpowered. Struggles on most AAA games but does decently. It's still the same price it was when I purchased it a year ago. I purchased this card along with several other XFX cards which I will be reviewing after my experience with their support staff.

Cons: I have been a HUGE supporter of XFX, and have used their GPU's exclusively since I was in high school. The one thing that has always made me choose XFX over literally any other brand was their warranty. I had heard that their warranty was great and their support staff was usually very helpful. Well, I tried using my warranty for my XFX 6950 I purchased years ago and they told me that I was out of luck without my invoice for the card, which I purchased almost 4 years ago. I registered the card on the XFX site, as I have with a few of my other cards, the day I purchased the card from an electronics store. I told them that since I purchased it at a electronic retail store and not an online retailer I couldn't get a copy of an invoice that old and didn't realize registration wasn't enough. They could see on their site that I registered the card with the correct serial code back in 2011, yet they said that doesn't prove I purchased the card when I did...

Despite me explaining it to their support staff, I was accused of trying to scam the company and the support staff who was taking care of my support ticket said I "could have just bought it used and tried to get the warranty". So, I've spent well over $2000 in my lifetime on these cards as through college I worked in my schools IT department and would often replace failing cards on clients computers with XFX cards. It's nice to see that when you actually DO need to use your warranty, you'd better have your original receipt or you'll be accused of being a criminal. Thanks XFX.

To top it all off, when I asked to have a member of management included on the support ticket, the person "helping" me told me they couldn't do that, and that I could just call and they would say the same thing, and that he "couldn't make himself more clear".

The way I was treated by the support staff was extremely disrespectful and unacceptable.

Other Thoughts: I feel like a fool for supporting such a terrible company. I'll never again buy an XFX product, and if anyone out there is like me and weighs the warranty policy heavily in your decision making process, I would say skip XFX and go with a different manufacturer.

Rating: 5/5Exceeded my expectations

Pros: At first I got the first card and it was DOA but Newegg replaced it and it sure is a pretty good card. It has excellent graphics, and silent too. I am playing all my games at maximum settings and it's pretty fast and nice.

Cons: Hopefully they inspect the package before they send it to customers next time to avoid any DOA.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello Irish,

We're glad everything is working as intended. If you have any questions, please let us knpw.

Rating: 4/5A decent card

Pros: Well the card has decent performance and the nice XFX warranty. Despite already being an over clocked 270 i managed to push mine an extra 155 MHz in the gpu core yet the memory clock can only be pushed 25 MHz before issues appear.

My temps on the card are great but not what they used to be when the card was brand new. Using 45% fan speed idle was 28C but has now gone to 31c and load temps hang at 70c while keeping my fan speed constant at 45%. Could get lower if i upped the fan speed as the fans themselves arent that loud (my case has five other fans that easily cover up the sound but not loud enough to bother me).

Cons: Now we hit the issues. The memory really cant be overclocked at all. once you push it a bit you will get crashes. Gpu can overclock about 10% before things get hectic. Another thing is the build quality of the card bothers me. The fan shroud seems very cheap and creaky. When the fan speed gets pushed to 55% the shroud vibrates in my case and gets louder than all my fans which is annoying. The DVI input screw sockets tend to vibrate loose as well so i just stick with using HDMI.

Manufacturer Response:

Eggcellent. We're glad you're happy. Thank you for the great review. If you have any questions or need any help, please let us know.

Rating: 5/5

Pros: can take a beating and keep on going.i use this card for everything from wow to borderlands and things inbetween,and it has not failed to inpresse me.i plan on buying a second card and running them together.the card is well worth the money.

Rating: 3/5Loud

Pros: After having a few ati cards fails I started buying XFX's Double D's; you got to love that they will stand behind the card. I also like the value even though XFX is not a price leader the Warranty makes them the best buy.

Cons: Having bought a 4870, 5770, 7770, and a 7870 through the years this one is loud. Too loud even playing Civ5. My other cards would rarely get loud playing.

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for the review.

If your fan is getting noisy, please let us know and we should be able to send out a replacement set of fans.

Rating: 5/5Great upgrade

Pros: Upgraded from my old HD 5770 to a retail-exclusive version (it was on sale - same price as here with no rebate + 4 free games). Absolutely excellent card. No lag, no crashes, no driver issues, no heat issues. My only advice is to make sure you have room for this card - it *barely* fit my mid-tower case (a relatively roomy mid-tower). Aside from that, I was able to install the drivers without issue on Windows 7 and then performed a system upgrade to the Tech Preview of Windows 10. I upgraded the drivers to the latest from AMD and tested a few games - Fallout 3, Skyrim (with HD DLC), Mass Effect 3, Sleeping Dogs. No issues. No crazy temperatures. 7.9 WEI score before the upgrade to Win10.

Cons: This is a VERY large card. Measure the space you have before you buy it - I can easily see someone unboxing it only to find that it does not fit their case. No cons aside from that.

Other Thoughts: If you're having driver issues, try the following steps. I've had similar issues in the past but this has never failed to work for me:

1. Uninstall current nVidia/AMD device (physically remove + uninstall associated software - run on native motherboard/cpu video if possible).2. Restart the computer.3. Run CCleaner and clean not only the files but also the registry as well.4. Restart the computer.5. Physically install new device and boot up system6. Install latest drivers from AMD site7. Restart computer

These steps can be time-consuming but very worth it because of the stability this process can provide. Conflicting video drivers can cause a lot of issues with a new card.

Rating: 5/5Couldn't ask for better

Pros: Got this for my rig and just performs beautifully. Relatively low noise level as well. It can run just about anything I throw at it. I am really satisfied with this, so much so that I am about to buy a second one and crossfire them.

Cons: In truth their is none. Maybe not being able to run a few games on high/max? Solution: Crossfire.
